5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful nostalgia,
By Twazzer (Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mr Benn - the Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
Being a young child of the '70's, the name Mr. Benn evokes memories of stiff-legged animation, the voice of the great Ray Brooks, an unmistakable theme tune, a variety of costumes and not forgetting the magical double act of Mr. Benn and the Shopkeeper. This no-frills DVD release delivers what is says on the case - all the episodes of this classic part of my childhood.The quality of the DVD is excellent; the picture is sharp and the sound is excellent. Unlike a number of childhood programmes, Mr. Benn is just as good as I remember it to be - a charming series of moral-based stories which grab the attention. The DVD has the extra of an extra story of our hero as a gladiator. The new episode is successful in retaining the feel of the original stories and, hopefully, more stories are in the pipeline. The only gripe about the DVD is that there are no extras - a 'Making Of...' documentary would have been more than welcome. However, it is certainly a long-awaited release and a welcome addition to my DVD collection. Highly recommended!

Childrens classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mr Benn - the Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
About time too!The vhs collections have long been deleted and as such fetched very high prices on a certain popular auction website. Now you can get all the televised episodes of Mr Benn on a no-frills dvd plus one new episode which apart from newly recorded music could easily have been from the original series. Kids will love Mr Benn, his adventures involve pirates, dinosaurs, sea monsters, spacemen - great marketing(!) but i'd imagine this DVD will appeal just as much to people who loved watching this series when they were young, me for instance! By the way, don't expect any trailers, making of documentaries, or biographies on this dvd, all you get is is every episode of Mr Benn from the 70s plus Mr Benn - Gladiator, the new story - that's it. What more do you want? Perfect.

Absolute Classic - And kids still love it,
By T Collins (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mr Benn - the Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
Our oldest (almost 3 years) loves Mr Benn! She is re-enacting his adventures pretending to be a pirate or a dinosaur and loves it.
It is nostalgic watching all those episodes again, it amazes me how much I still remembered. This is a no-frill Mr Benn DVD, all episodes ever made, no extras, but who needs them anyway?
